Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a male and I have been masturbating since the age of 15 years, I have been experiencing certain consequences. I feel lethargic, lack concentration and focus, and I also have pain in the veins of my body and in the genital area. Additionally, I find it difficult to wake up easily in the morning, and I have noticed a smaller size of the genital, which hinders my ability to perform tasks correctly. One specialist has prescribed two medicines, Paroxetine 60mg a day and Progesterone 200mg a day. I would like to inquire whether these medications are safe to consume. Are there any steroids in them, and what are the potential side effects? Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. I would like to inform you that ninety-five percent of males engage in masturbation. It is another way of having sexual activity without a partner. Below are the some benefits of masturbation:

  1. It helps to relieve stress.
  2. Boosts mood.
  3. Improves sleep.
  4. Helps prevent depression and anxiety.
  5. Relaxes the mind.
  6. Relieves pain and muscle cramps.
  7. Alleviates sexual tension.
  8. Improves a person's confidence.
  9. Can lead to better sexual experiences.
  10. Helps individuals understand their needs and desires.
  11. In females, masturbation increases vaginal blood flow.
  12. Masturbation will not harm your penis. Having it two to three times a week is not an issue, but doing it more frequently can cause tiredness, loss of concentration, and a sense of infertility.

I suggest you follow the below mention instructions to reduce masturbation:

  1. Sex education.
  2. Physical exercises.
  3. Adjusting sleep patterns.
  4. Improving sleep quality.
  5. Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet.
  6. Planning leisure time activities.
  7. Developing spirituality.
  8. Taking cold baths.

If you experience tiredness or a decrease in strength, I suggest you take a capsule containing essential nutrients, vitamins, and amino acids once in the morning and a tablet of calcium and vitamin D3 once at night after food for thirty days. Regarding the medications you mentioned, yes, Paroxetine 60mg a day and Progesterone 200 mg a day can help with side effects or other issues related to masturbation. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
